8 total hatched
One was definitely glued in trying to get out and had I have been home I could have helped so that was a sad one 😢
The other one died earlier - not sure what day but I could smell it was off.
Out of the 8 I only had one blue and no splash lol. I really want a splash! Such is my...
Saddled air cells (off to the side) seem to be common in shipped eggs. My first hatch were all very wonky saddled air cells and hatched well. As long as they are not detached they should be fine 😊
I am by no means an expert. Only on my third hatch :) I always candle big side down. I did two hatches with shipped eggs and candled that way. One hatch was awesome and the other was quite bad.
It’s hard to tell from the picture but it looks like there is veining which is good! but the way it’s...

I will put them in lockdown tomorrow morning before work which is great because day 21 is a Sunday 😁
I’m not sure yet. I’ve looked at Indian runners for sure as well as khaki Campbell. There are few breeds being posted around right now for hatching eggs but I definitely need to do some research before deciding.
